Unfortunately, to those waiting for the sequel to "What?", there might be a huge possibility that I won't be continuing with that story anymore. Instead, I'm going to replace it with this. Hopefully, this is a good replacement.

Prologue:
Perseus did not enjoy being deceived, especially not by his family.
He had been living his entire life in a lie. His mother had told him that his father was a fisherman who died due to this massive storm that hit the coast one day. He didn't know whether or not he should hate the one person he had left for lying to him but he sure as hell won't just let this one pass.
She claimed that she was merely trying to protect him, to give him a simple life that had nothing to do with politics and the crown. But then where had that led them? By the time she revealed his true identity, he had already gotten used to his life as a mere peasant.
According to her, he is the only son of Lord Poseidon, king of Atlantis and ruler of the oceans.
Of course, he should have known he was special when he started exhibiting signs of his supernatural abilities. He didn't mean to create the tidal wave that eventually destroyed half of the village. He was upset that day and he was merely a boy. It wasn't his fault, right? He should just be glad that the royal court had turned a blind eye and claimed that it was an unusual natural phenomenon. Surely they couldn't consider a human being as the cause of all those peoples' deaths.
He had been terrified of his capabilities for the first five years. He tried to hide it, keep it from hurting anyone else even if it meant dealing with the street children who ridiculed him for being the son of a harlot.
Even after that, he couldn't bring himself to despise his mother. She was an outcast but he would never dare leave her side. She didn't deserve the kind of persecution she goes through every day of her life. She is the kindest woman in the world and he will never let anything happen to her. He was eighteen now. He can stand his own ground.
Perseus turned to face the one person who loved him the most, pulling her to an embrace and placing a kiss on her forehead. Their parting was heartbreaking on both sides but it had to be done. The king was already searching for the warlock who was capable of causing water-related calamities upon Olympus.
He shared one last look to his mother, begging her with his eyes to come with him so that she could get the treatment that she deserves. She just smiled at him and shook her head, gesturing for him to leave before anyone would see. He quickly mounted his black stallion, grabbing the reins and riding off to the night.
Hopefully, you like this. If you don't please tell me. But I really like this storyline and I'm more than willing to continue it. Please review. It will mean so much.
